July 28'. WS PAGE TWO HERALD AND NEWS, KtXM'ATH FALLS, OREGON1 E IGHTH ARMY STORMS GATES OF CATANIA (Continued From Page One) three rivers In the Catania plain, the British stolidly held a line running from the sea westward In the direction of Ramaeca. They were within at least three milei of Catania. The German Goerlng grena dier regiment and nazi para chute troops used with infantry were thrown into the continuing battle and suffered heavily, it was reported. Knockout Expected Some headquarters observers did not view the British pause outside Catania as a temporary check, but as a buildup for a knockout blow to carry through that port to Messina 60 miles up the coast. Possibly explaining the whole sale Italian surrenders and re ports of mutinies, it was stated that at least half the 35,000 axis prisoners "so far captured were born in Sicily. ' The U. S. seventh army of Lieut Gen. George S. Patton Jr., was wttnin ou miles or raiermo, the leading north coast port of Sicily, and was cutting a wide swath through the heart of the enemy line, encountering al- most total lack of resistance" by Italians, an official statement aid. Mutinies Reported Mutinies among the Italian units led by German officers was one of the gravest signs yet re ported of ultimate axis collapse in Sicily. Some Italian units already re portedly have killed German commanders who tried to pre vent their surrender. General Glullo Cassera Gotto Poreinari, commander of the 84th Napoli division, has been captured, the fourth division commander to be taken. Gen eral Poreinari had been sent back to Sicily as a failure as a field commander in Libya. Canadian forces advancing north of Piazza Arminera were confronted by units of the resus citated German 15th armored division in strong opposition, but they "continue to fight their way forward- Push Expected ax tatania, eighth army troops "are gathering strength and armored patrols are probing me defenses of axis troops strongly established at the foot of Mt Etna to bar the narrow coastal route. , Thus in preparation was a nighty push which some ob servers said might reach to the Messina Strait almost as quickly as the eighth army advanced from Cape Passero to the gates of Catania. Once Catania falls, there is no strong place for an axis ftand short of Messina. (Fierce -.battles in which great numbers of British parachutists were wiped out were reported by the German radio). .Catania again was bombed, with one raid starting fires over a square block. Randozzo, north west of Mt Etna and an enemy concentration point, were heav ily pounded by 46 tons of bombs.

Wilson also reported that steel production had suffered by about 300,000 tons in the past 30 days as a result of the coal strike and "We've got to make it up or lose ships." Navy and maritime pro duction schedules, he said, were based on an additional million tons of steel in the third quarter of this year and another million tons additional in the fourth quarter. .

PACIFIC FI9HT FURJESjN NORTH (Continued From Page One) delivered their long expected at tack on Paramushiro and Secre tary Knox was asked at a press conference whether he could comment. He declined to affirm or deny the reports. The communique announcing the precedent-setting raid also disclosed that in the central area of the South Pacific Japa nese planes bombed Canton is land Sunday without causing personnel casualties or material damage. Canton Raid Canton had previously been attacked in a night raid March 23. It is in the Phoenix group southwest of Pearl Harbor and about 650 nautical miles north of Samoa. Also on Tuesday a formation of army heavy and medium bombers attacked the Japanese positions on Kiska island in the Aleutians, directly northwest of Amchitka. The blows were dl rected at the enemy's main camp and his defenses about Gertrude cove. Due to overcast, results were not observed. Weather Break A spokesman, discussing the Paramushiro raid said the fliers got a great break in the clear weather. They were able to pour destruction on their targets with precision. Ordinarily Paramush iro, like the Aleutian islands in the North Central Pacific, is tog-bound. The northernmost of the Kur ile islands of any importance is about 12 miles wide by 55 miles long. It is rugged and dotted with mountain peaks going up to nearly 6000 feet Military Positions The military positions are re ported to be on the northern tip of the island where a strait separates. Paramushiro from Shumushu island, which at its northern end is but a few miles from the Russian peninsula of Kamchatka. What the Japanese have at Paramushiro has never been re ported. Presumably they have installed airfield facilities, since during the battle of Attu their planes twice showed up to at tack American shipping and must have come from the vicin ity of the northern Kuril es. Equally important as any di rect military damage, in the opinion of observers here, is the psychological value of not only threatening but actively attack ing the Japanese along the northern arch of their defenses as well as in the south.

At the same time the navy an nounces that a "formation" of Liberators has bombed the Jap base at Paramushiro, In the Kurtle islands at the far north ern edge of the Jap Island em pire. (A formation might be a dozen or so planes.) (These long flights are a warn ing to Tokyo to LOOK OUT.) WflTH the news from all over the world so good that Churchill said a few days ago it scares him to read it. Navy Secretary Knox and Vice-Ad-miral Home hold a press confer ence In Washington whose ob vious purpose is to warn us to stop, look and listen. Horne "reveals " that the navy is planning a war against Japan to last until 1949. Knox points out that after all Sicily is only on OUTPOST. Home adds: "We re doing a good deal of wishful thinking in expectation of a collapse in Ger many. There is likely to be no such morale collapse in the Ger man army as in 1918 because German soldiers have been trained In Hitlcrism and separ ated from family connections through which a spirit of defeat was transmitted In the last war." Both point out that we still have opposed to us in Europe a veteran army of seven million to eight million men. NOX says: "All this talk about an early ending of the war is wishful thinking- Already it has caused a let-up in produc tion whose effects we're begin ning to feel." That, he says truthfully, is little short of criminal. HARLES E. WILSON, execu tive vice chairman of the war production board, who had merely dropped into the confer ence aa a spectator, puts In his oar to say that "we ought to have produced 8500 planes this month, but it seems now that we won't get anything like that." He adds that steel production has suffered by about 300,000 tons in the past 30 days as a result of the coal strike, and "we've got to make that up or LOSE SHIPS." TJ7HAT these officials of our guvei mucin ai c iciiiug; us la all prefectly sound. The actual end of the war isn't yet even FAINTLY In sight" The; news sounds so unbelievably good merely because for the first time in nearly four long years the axis nations are BEGINNING to be hit hard. They might turn yellow, of course, and crumple up, as the Germans did in 1918, but we can't build war plans on any such hope as that The only safe policy In war time is to hope for the best and PREPARE FOR THE WORST. TTiE trouble with the perfectly - iuuu auvm given us u Knox and Horne is that we may disregard it because of the feel ing that were Just being "handled" fed now with pessi mistic news to keep us feeling TOO good. Rightly or wrongly, most Americans feel that in the past they ve been told only what somebody at the top thinks is good for them to know Instead of being given the hard, cold, often disconcerting facts- That policy, as much as any thing else. Is responsible for the present unfortunately wide spread feeling that the war is about all over but the shouting. 1 r- l'- Y VI S2j KLAMATH K-2M plus ctfAsp2 EI (Continued From Page One) hit by fragmentation bombs. The Llttoria airport, near the railway yards, also was hit hard. -Accurate Bombing More than 50 of the accurate ly placed 500 - pound bombs showered on the rail Installa tions were said officially to have struck the Littorla rail switching yards. Roundhouses in both the Llttoria and San Lorenzo yards were hit. "An ammunition train mov ing through the yards received several direct hits and explod ed, contributing to the destruc tion," said an allied headquar ters communique. It added that "a great deal of rolling stock and many railroad Installations were destroyed." The five planes lost in the at tack were from the squadrons which struck from North Af rica. The Cairo communique said not a single plane was lost from the Middle East formations participating in the raid. PACIFIC FIGHT FLARKJN SOUTH (Continued From Page One) again pounded the Kahili and Ballale airdromes in the Buni Faisl area, starting three large fires. Latest reports on tho heavy blow struck there Sun day said 21 enemy fighters were shot down against a loss of 10 of our planes. First accounts listed enemy losses at 13, ours at four. One of our planes was missing after the latest raid Catch Japs Fiat-Footed The Liberator assault on Macassar caught the Japanese flat-footed. The town was well lighted and there was no anti aircraft fire as the first flight of four-engined bombers swept over the target. How many planes participat ed in the mission was not dis closed but the number was great enough to keep bombers over the target for five hours. Their base also was not mentioned, but Darwin. Australia, is about 1000 miles from Macassar. The communique reported no losses. Archbishop Regrets Bombing of Romo DETROIT, July 20 (P) The Most Rev. Edward Mooney, arch bishop of Detroit, and chairman of the administrative board of the National Catholic Welfare conference, In a statement today expressed "surprise and regret" at the bombing of Rome, but added that the fascist govern ment of Italy could have made bombing unnecessary. The fascist government, the archbishop said, "could have de clared Rome an open city and acted In sincere conformity with that declaration."

Platinum Smuggler Seined by FBI in Espionage Net (Continued From Page One) hearing Saturday on the censor ship violation charge, the FBI chief said. Conviction under the charge carries a maximum penalty of 10 years' imprison ment and $10,000 (ine. Black Market Hoover charged that the Brit isher "also was interested In the 'black market' In United States dollars in Latin America." "The platinum smuggled by members of the ring," Hoover said, "was purchased from Ille gal dealers In Colombia and smuggled to Argentina through Intermediaries In Lima, Peru, Quito, Ecuador, and Santiago, Chile. Ebury designed a special belt similar to a canvas money belt for the use of his agents in smuggling activities. The preci ous metal, which is essential In modern warfare and appears to be critically lacking In axis na tions, apparently was smuggled on board neutral vessels at Buen os Aires." The dollar market is profitable In South America. Hoover said "in view of restrictions on spend ing and possessing United States currency, designed to prevent axis agents from unloading American dollars seized by Ger mans in the Invaded countries of Europe." The FBI announced It had been watching Ebury since Aug ust, 1940, when, it said, he re turned to the United States from the Far East with $10,000 In Japanese currency which later was sent to Buenos Aires.
